Practical information

 

How do I get from Oslo Airport Gardermoen to Oslo City Center?

By Train (Recommended)

The Airport Express train (Flytoget) takes you to the Oslo Central Station (Oslo S) in 20 minutes. The train departs every 5-10 minutes and costs 190 NOK (Approx. 22 USD). You can also take the NSB-train to Oslo S. This takes approximately 30 minutes and is a slightly cheaper alternative (93 NOK/Approx. 11 USD).

By Taxi

If you prefer to take a taxi from the airport, we recommend you go to the taxi information desk in the arrivals hall. The taxi information desk has information about the fixed rates of the different companies that operate out of Oslo Airport. You will need to book your taxi there for the fixed rate. The taxi stand is located just outside the arrivals hall.

 

When do I need to be at the airport for departure?

For international flights we recommend being at the airport two hours before your flight.

 

How do I order a taxi?

Call Oslo Taxi at  02323, or if calling from a foreign phone number, 0047-22388090. The taxi company and drivers will speak English.

Things to do in Oslo

If you have some spare time while in Oslo, we recommend this guide.

 

Public transport

Ruter is the name of the public transport system in Oslo and the surrounding county, Akershus. City buses, regional buses, trams, subway/metro, local trains and ferries (not the Bygdøy ferry) are all included in Ruter's ticket system. Tickets can be purchased from any of Ruter's sales points. Tickets cost NOK 20 more when purchased on board. To travel by subway/metro or tram, you must always pre-purchase a ticket. We recommend downloading the Ruter app for easy purchase of tickets.

 

Internet

Eduroam is accessible at Oslo Airport, the university, the university Aula and The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. If you live at Gabelshus Oslo or Hotel Continental Wifi is included. Please check prices for roaming/4G with your local provider.

 

Cash or card?

If you have a debit/credit card with a chip there is no need for local currency. Cash can be used as well, with public transport as the exception (see public transport).
